Daejeon
University was founded in 1980 as a noble
cause of the late lamented Jisan Dalgyu Lim for the sole purpose
of education. Daejeon University is a top rated private school with
an unprecedented rate of progress.

The university
has achieved substantial improvement in its short history. The founder,
Jisan, devoted himself and made significant endeavors towards education.
The chairmen of the board have shown extraordinary administrative
abilities. In addition, keen support of the administrative staff
and the students' enthusiasm for learning have been fundamental
and steadfast elements in producing a prestigious learning institution
as well as exceeding individual expectations.

In the
beginning, Daejeon University started with
only 5 departments and 260 students. Since that time, the university
has developed into an excellent school with five colleges, 13 divisions,
5 departments, 35 majors, graduate school programs, and 11,000 students.

The university
has also educated an enormous number of people, providing the wisdom
and confidence to spread their wings and succeed in today's society.
As a result, the university has obtained a high reputation through
the efforts of illustrious alumni in a number of professional fields.
In sports, Youngho Kim won the gold medal in the Sydney Olympics
for fencing and unprecedently, Jinsun Kim was the first citizen
from Chungnam Province to pass the state law examination as a private
school graduate. Daejeon University has displayed its scholastic
abilities nationwide, proving its tremendous potential to become
a prestigious private school.

Even more
important is that the university is not satisfied
with the surprising progress which has already been made but is
now working to materialize a challenging new vision for the future.
We are ready to make a leap forward to make the school an arena
in which people can apply their passions to make their dreams come
true.

Therefore,
the leaders of the university would like all members to have futuristic
ways of thinking and the school itself to establish a characteristic
paradigm for research and education. We should all use our creativity
and passion as much as possible to put this plan into practice.

Additionally,
while avoiding the problem of educating people using stereotyped
educational policies with which the country has been struggling
for so long without solutions, we will do our best to foster useful
people to whom society really looks up to for their acceptance of
individuals and their differences.

Daejeon
University will continue to move towards the
goal of becoming a prestigious university in the 21st century. As
a representative, I expect your favorable consideration and support
for my university.
